They even weigh pretty much the same-around 5,000 lbs (2,200kg), give or take.įurther Reading The Audi R8 V10 performance: They won’t make them like this much longerThe immediate torque of the electric motors goes a very long way to disguising the RS e-tron GT's mass. They both look spectacular, and once you've added a few options, they'll cost about the same. Both the RS7 and the e-tron are all-wheel drive 590 hp five-door fastbacks capable of rapidly transporting four adults and their stuff. It was apparent that the RS7 had just been replaced as my favorite Audi after just a few miles of driving.
The driving position may be more like that of the R8 supercar than the RS7, with its sedan roots, and the RS e-tron GT shares the R8's trait of great forward visibility combined with a tiny rear window.
(The audio controls on the center console are like the touch-sensitive dial on the front of an iPod, which is neat.)Īs you drop down into the driver's seat, it's apparent from the driving position that you're in something that's closer to a sports car than a regular sedan-again, a trait this car shares with the Taycan. Its cabin is more conventional than the Porsche, with just two screens-one for the main instrument display and one for the infotainment system-and plenty of physical buttons for things like the climate controls. The Audi might be a little cheaper and a little less powerful than the Taycan, but it's a better-looking car, even in relatively anonymous metallic gray paint. The battery's 800 V electrical architecture allows it to fast charge at up to 270 kW-which means going from 5 to 80 percent in 22.5 minutes-and it can regenerate up to 265 kW of energy under braking. The motors are fed by a 93.4 kWh battery pack (~85 kWh usable capacity). It's a twin-motor design, combining a 235 hp (175 kW) motor at the front axle and a 450 hp (335 kW) motor at the rear, with a combined output of 590 hp (440 kW) and 612 lb-ft (830Nm).
